Hon. J. M. Broughton, of Raleigh
delivered a most Interesting and force
ful audress at the closing of the Mills
High School on last Friday night al
the auditorium to a large crowd whe
thoroughly appreciated tfhe thought
and conclusions he drew from hit
subject. He took for his theme "Foun
datlon" and showed how the schools
were trying to lay the foundations
for life. He said the true test ol
society is the foundation upon which
it rests. He said the home is the
first foundation cf society and cha
racter. He pointed out the sacrednesa
of the home by showing that the law
~ recognized a man's home as his cas.
tie and gave him the right to defend
It. He said that theJivorce evil is
the peril of the heme life. This the
speaker thought was due largely to
the lack of parental restraint in early
training. He illustrated by telling
of a trial of some little boys for bur
galry and said society was asking the
courts to do something the parents
: /.;suld do.
Mc- said the schools was one of the
i r.tions of society and that the
schcol was a most wonderful
i ion where children of all
c mingled and developed real
lei- - ip. He pointed to the public
echo - ? the greatest exemplifica
i.t.n c.' - ? luocracy, and one of the
institutions that makes America what
it is. He spokd of the necessity to
have teachers of ability and character
to guide and Instruct the children in
moulding the character that would go
with them through life..
The church, he said, was another
of the great foundations of society
as without the proper regard and
respect for the great Almighty no un
dertaking would be a success.
The speaker was fittingly introduc
ed by Supt. Mills.
Invocation was offered at the open
ing cf the exercises by Rev. J. A. Mc
jver, pastor of the Baptist church, and
preceeded by a chorus by the Glee

Class Day
! The Class Day exercises were held
( in the auditorium of Mills High School
on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock with
quite a good number of parents and
1 friends present to enjoy the splendid
program.
) The welcome address was delivered
by Miss Olivia McKlnne in a most
impressive and pleasant manner,
j The class history, full of interest
and activity, likened unto a voyage
on the sea of life stopping at the sev.
eral ports, was read by Miss Nannie
Perry.
i The class poem, a most excellent
1 composition was read by Miss Pattle
Beasley.
! The jokes by John Williamson were
rich and filled with much fun and
mirth.
Miss Louise Fardner, as Olftorlan,
with a wheelbarrow loaded with gifts
possibly presented the most touching
feature as in the presentation and
acceptance of the gifts a certain real
ization of - the separation of friends
was suggested. In them was suggested
both seriousness, love and comical.
The class prophecy by Wlngate Un
derbill presented quite a glorious fu
ture for most of the class.
I The last will and testament by Miss
Elizabeth Johnson truly disposed of
all the possessions of the class even
to its exams.
| ' The Key of Knowledge was present
ed to the Incoming senior class by
Miss Mary Susan Fuller and was re
ceived by Jonah Taylor, president for
the junior class.
I The junior class then sang their
class song as a closing number for
the evening exercises.
I On Thursday night of last week,
the pupils of the Mills graded school
! presented "A Day In Flowerdom," an
operetta by George L. Spauldlng, to
a large and appreciative audience.
' (The operetta was under the direction
{ ot Mrs. Scott Bruce Berkeley assist
ed by the faculty of the grammar
I school.
' The costumes which were made of
, crepe paper and tar let on, represent
: ed the different flowers taking part in
the pageant. They were pretty and
attractive and added much to the pro
gram.
i The first scene takes place In Rose
Arbor on the morning of the Floral |
Queen's reception, and the flowers
are preparing for this event. The
second scene is laid in the Violet
Gardens at twilight, and the Queen*;
reception is In full sway. After her
| coronation an entertainment Is given
by talent engaged fro the occasion,
, after which the Queen sings "Tbe
i Moon's Lullaby," dnd all of the
I Flowers respond with a good night
song.
Practically all of the children in
the Grammar School took part, and
the way In which they went through
with their parts showed that they
had been well and carefully trained.
Those taking the main parts were:
Pape Jacque Rose, Mayor of Rose
Arbor?Douglas Perry; Mama Jacque

TRUTH TABLETS
Fur tile People of Loulsburg Circuit;
Take One or More as >e<'<l<*d
Church going is a habit, a good
habit; staying away is a bad habit.
One should form good habits?for hab
its make character?and character
makes eternity.
Our family and neighbors are read
ing you more than they are reading
the bibles, and what you think ot
Christianity is shown more by what
you do than by what you say.
I know not how many more Sun
day's God will give you on earth, but
on your first Sunday in Heaven it
will be pleasant to remember that you
attened church and Sunday school
"your last Sunday on earth."
Don't stay away because you are
poor, no charges for admission.
Don't stay away because you are
rich. We will give you a chance to
invest your money in an enterprise
that will pay you dividends not only
on earth but in Heaven as well.
Don't stay away because the church
is not perfect. Hew lonesome you
would feel in a perfect church.
Don't stay away because the preach
er is not perfect. It may be several
years before you will get that kind.
Don't stay away until a drought
sends you out to pray for rain. Come
to church be (fere the drought and1
maybe the rain will come as needed.
Don't stay away because you think I
you do not need the church. Don't;
tool yourself. Nobody needs the church'
so much as the person who thinks he
doesn't need it at all.
Let us go to church that we may
be ready for and feel at home when
we reach the general assembly and
church of the firstborn in Heaven.

Only in one case and that (or Con
stable in Cedar Rock township, did
Saturday's primary eliminate the pos
sibility of a second primary in Frank
lin county and even in the Seventh
Judicial District. It was only in the
I contests where only two entries were
. i battling (or the nomination, that de
, cislons were made. For United States
. Senate Overman defeated Reynolds in
.'Franklin county by a majority of 720,
['and reports indicate that the State
, J will go for Overman by around 40,000
' j to 60,000. Person led Franklin coun
('ty for Judge with Calvert a close sec
'ond. Harris received only a small
j vote. However with Wake county's
.! vote Harris came out of the contest
ilas the high man with Calvert second
[{and no decision, making a second pri
,: mary possible. In the Sollcitorship
II contest quite a bit of personal feelings
! i was stirred up in Wake county judg
!jing from the reports that come to us
[ bcth privately and in the press. Evans
,! however was defeated by Brassfield
!i by an indicated majority of 199. In
. | Franklin county Evans had a splen
.! did majority.
11 Clyde P. Harris defeated his op
> ponent C R Sandling for the State
i Senate and the contest for the House
, I of Representatives was undecisive,
.1 with Macon leading and Cooper fol.
| lowing closely. Macon only lacked
;' 86 votes getting a majority over both
i! his opponents. For Sheriff Frank W.
[Justice defeated Lancaster by almost
; a thousand majority and Sidney C.
. Holden defeated Brown foe,. Register
of Deeds by a majority of 987.
S. A. Newell lead in the race for
Judge of the Recorders Court, with
J. L. Palmer rt4nning second, and
Pearce lead Parrish for Coroner by a
plurality of only 59 votes, Harp fall
ing right much behind.
For Commissioners a completely
new board was nominated with the
[exception of Pace who defeated his
,1 opponent by a majority of two. In
the second district Claude L. McGhee
defeated J. R. Jones, and in the third
i district. Speed defeated both his op
ponents, Wilson and Kennedy. Sturdi
vant defeated both his opponents, Dean
and Griffin in the fourth district and
Leonard won out over three oppon
ents in the fifth.
I All the contests for Constable were
'decided with the exception of Louis,
'burg township, which will have to be
[ run over again by Thomas and Wlggs,
the two highest.
Therefore a study of the figures
will reveal the tact, that If all the
candidates avail themselves of their
' privileges the recent primary was
only a medium of elimination in very
[ nearly all the contests where more
(than two participated. It is not only
[possible but very probable that a sec
jond primary will be held on July 3rd.
[ 1926 to complete the nominations. The
[second highest candidate in each case
having five days from Monday to t$e
a demand for a second primary. TMs
[time will expire on Saturday, June
12th, 1926.
E. L. Green was recommended for
the member of the Board of Educa
tion from District No. 2. without op
position, receiving 643 votes.
It was especially pleasing to see the
conditions around the voting precincts
improving so markedly. All day long
at most places, an active interest was
shown, but In all cases pleasantness
and the best of feelings prevailed.
? Jno W Hinsdale of Raleigh, was be
fore the Board of Elections Monday
at the time of canvassing the vote and
asked to be given until Tuesday morn
ing at 11 o'clock to lodge a motion tor
a recount of the votes for Solicitor,
especially In Harris township, upon
the grounds that whiskey was in evi
dence about the polls that the light
went out while the count was
made, that the polls were not op
until about 7:45 a. m., and that
was a fight at the election place. Ba
request for time was granted bat
when the Board met Tuesday morning
